You can't ever have enough devotional stories for your little one. It's a perfect way to end or begin their day and having multiple options for them to select from is important. I think this one could potentially be the one they turn to again and again because of some of the unique features it has.
The volume includes a hundred Bible stories with scripture references, a summary to remind your little one of the Truths in the story and a simple phrase to keep in their mind throughout the day. One example is the story of David and Goliath that remind us "If I call on the Lord, He will help me". What a Truth to carry with you each day.
One of the most unique features of the book is that a song goes alone with each story. Some are very familiar such as "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" while others I feel are written just to go with this book and each story. Many that are unfamiliar have a suggested tune to sing it to while others have no suggestions so I hope you are good at making up tunes because only the words are printed, not the notes themselves. I suppose, if I had to find a way to improve the volume, that would be it. Personally, I might be at a disadvantage with the song. My husband, on the other hand, can make up a tune to anything. I think the author may have assumed a bit much that everyone would be familiar with the tunes but I still think it is a fabulous addition to the Bible stories.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one. This sturdy hard-bound volume is destined to be a family favorite.
